Reflexions upon Science
Ada Pellert (Vienna)
Reflexive Science: Claims and Contradictions
Summary
In connection with economic measures as well as third-party financing the claim arises that science shall be useful and relevant to society. This demand for university research and education is also made within science itself. Social relevance and the demand for societal distance, for reflecting science go hand in hand. That is not necessarily a discrepancy. The integration of both tasks can be achieved in an extended view of science. This is linked to an extended field of activities by scientists. They offer knowledge, organise, guide and accompany processes of the implementation of knowledge as well as its creation.
